Just under halfway and expect I will get more today in the mail...

This is the part we forget to tell you about when we aski if you want to participate in a swap...Please list your fly here and the recipe/pattern. I don't know if anyone is good at taking pictures but sometimes we put them all up, who tied what, and the recipe in the swaps section.

Sorry guys, my flies will be in the mail on Tues. No excuses, just couldn't get myself out of the water and to the Post Office on Friday or Saturday. Fishing was good and there are a few steelhead with Don's Glass Egg flies stuck in their mouths.

Directions: Slide glass bead on hook, put done a thread base, move thread to to one hook eye behind the eye, tie in Glo Bug yarn of choice with a few loose wraps, slide bead up to yarn, loose wrap thread over bead and build thread up to lock bead in place, pull yarn back over bead and pull it tight, then push it forward to make a bubble around the bead and throw a few loose wraps around it to hold it in place, work it around the bead to where you like it and the cinch it down and whip finish. I didn't use any head cement, just went with two whip finishes.

Notes: Peacock Herl can be used in place of black chennille for body material. I used strung hackle feathers with longer fibers and more web to give the fly better action.
